UNIPRINT(1) LINUX COMMANDS UNIPRINT(1) NAME uniprint - produce postscript output from Unicode text for printing SYNOPSIS uniprint [ -out output-file ] [ -in input-file ] [ -decode encoding ] [ -printer printer ] [ -L ] [ -media media ] [ -us ] [ -nus ] [ -break ] [ -wrap ] [ -left ] [ -right ] [ -size font-size ] [ -hsize header- font-size ] [ -font font-set ] DESCRIPTION uniprint is a program from the yudit package. It makes a formatted po- script output that can be saved or directly sent to the printer. The program needs TrueType/OpenType/CFF fonts that have Unicode table in order to operate. If you are running Linux you most probably have Unicode TrueType/Open- Type fonts in /usr/share/fonts directory. The postcript output contains all information needed to draw glyps. No fonts are needed on the printer side. You may encounter problems with old ghostview or old printers. OPTIONS -out ouput-file Do not sent the output to the printer, put it in the file in- stead. If the '-' character is specified, send the postscript data to the standard output. -in input-file If specified read the document from a file. Read stdin other- wise. -decode encoding specifies the encoding of the input text. All encoding methods that are available for uniconv can be used. If not specified en- coding is set to utf-8. -printer printer Send the postscript output to printer through the 'lpr -P Printer' command. -break option makes this program print a graphical representation of line breaking characters. -us option turns on uniscribe emulation. For some scripts emulation is turned on by default. -nus option turns off uniscribe emulation. For some scripts emulation is turned off by default. -wrap option makes this program do a simplistic line breaking on word boundaries. -left option sets the embedding of the document to Left. -right option sets the embedding of the document to Right. -L Selects landscape printing. The default is portrait. -media media Sets paper size. The default is A4. The following media values are accepted: A3, A4, A5, B4, B5, Executive, Folio, Ledger, Le- gal, Letter, Quarto, Statement, Tabloid -size font-size sets the size of the font for the text body in points. -hsize heder-font-size sets the size of the font for the header in points. If zero size is specified, no header is printed. -font font-set specifies the font to be used for printing. font-set is the filename part of the font, like Arial.ttf or a font set, defined in yudit.properties as yudit.font. For in- stance Terminal font-set that contains ipag.ttf,unifont.ttf can be used if you have the following property in yudit.properties: yudit.font.Terminal=ipag.ttf,unifont.ttf By default ~/.yudit/fonts, yudit.fontpath and /usr/lo- cal/share/yudit/fonts are searched for font files. This option can be specified multiple times with font file names or only once if a yudit font-set is used. FILES ~/.yudit/yudit.properties and /usr/local/share/yudit/config/yudit.prop- erties have yudit.fontpath and the font-sets defined.
